he has gone home to rest,
His trials are DER,
With dear ones he dwells
On that evergreen shore;
Mid blest joys supernal
He's 'wak'ned at last,
All striyings, all grievings,
OF earth's life woe past.
There life is immortal,
And living is love,
His dear spirit wanders
With loved ones above
Then grleve not his loss,
Nor sorrows tears weep;
But know he's awakened
From deaths endless sleep.
He dwells in that city
With angels of light,
No SORROWS can reach him.
No touch of earths blight;
We will meet him again,
The rather we love,
BE will greet us with Joy
In that Eden above.
His mission is DER;
His head bowed and gray
Foretold that our dear one
Was passing away;
But changed is that loved one
Midst realms of truth,
The angels hath decked him in
Beautiful youth.

AFTERNOON SITTING.

A visit to the compress by the COM
mission delayed il somewhat in re-
Stunning the days session in the after
noon. At 4:20 O'Clock, however, they
filed in, looking refreshed aud de-
lighted with the experiences OF the
recess. Msj. Stahlman then s'a,ed
that he had a number Of gentlemen
who were anxious to testify and re-
turn home. The commission readily
consented, and
y. p. GRACEY,
of Clsrksville, Tenn, was summoned.
His business is that OF grain dealer,
which he has been engaged In since
the war. His country, as a whole, is
thinly populated, the local stations
along the line OF road are rather
small, Elizabethtown, Bowling Green,
Russellville and OlaTksville being the
moot important points. Coming from
Louisville to Olarksville the railroad
crosses Green and Cumberland rivers.
There were three railroads originally
chartered to run from Memphis to
Louisville, and now form part Of the
Louisville and Nashville system. The
principal products OF the country
between Paris and Guthrie are wheat,
corn and tobacco, although the country
is by no means above the average in
fertility. The topography Of the
country is not particularly inviting for
railroad construction. Steamboats, ply
the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers
the year round, and in competition
with the railroads. As compared with
previous transportation charges, the
rates are now II cents as against 60
The clipper from the local station
gets the benefit OF this reduction. The
Clsrksville division has not been con
sidered a good investment by the rail
road company. Witness came dowr
as chairman Of the Memorial Commit
lee, to present written facts and figures
and not as a representative OF the rail
read company.

called upon the Interstate Commission
ers yesterday morning at The Gsyoso,
to pay their respects and extend the
courtssies OF the Exchanges to them
aud an invitation to visit the COM

The commission, In company with
q number Of leading eitiz ne, visited
the Exchanges at 3:l6 O'Clock pm,
and from there were driven TO the

cess OF COMPRISING cotton for domes-
tic and foreign shipment. Col. II. A.
Montgomery, superintendent OF the
Compress Association, explained to
the Commissioner the power and
capacity OF the press, the manner OF
shipment and the advantages possess
ed by Memphis ovar any other South
ern City in the way Of serving, ship
ping and other charges, the compress
ed cotton being plsced on board
steamers and cars at the compress and
without additional charge. The In
terstste Commissioners were very
much interested in what they saw OF
the great staple and industry Of the
south.
